Goodbye, Wally

schirra
Wally Schirra, the only man to fly all three - Mercury, Gemini, Apollo - died today. Third American to orbit the Earth, commander of the first docking in space, on the first manned Apollo after the fire. He wanted us to be "a spacefaring nation".

His dream might still come true someday.
